DO I NEED A COOLER CHANGE?

[benenhausen]

ok, so I bought an intel q6700 cpu without a heatsink and fan.

i then bought a heatsink and fan recommended by an online computer store - this one...1u Dynatron P199 S775 Quad Core Active Copper Heatsink for Q6700/Q6600 even Extreme X6800 !!

so then im told on a forum that the heatsink and fan wont suffice. This is what was said:

"That heatsink is a 1u cooler designed for slim server cases, I'd hazard a guess that with so little metal the fan will sound something like Concorde. It might not even work very well in a normal desktop case.
I'd have a nice word with **** and ask them to swap the cooler for something along the lines of:
*INTEL* Ultra 120 eXtreme - Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme 120mm Heat Sink Fan for Intel CPU (Without Fan) - No Competitors!) and a decent (Scythe or Noctua) 120mm fan"

I have an antec 300 case
What i want to know is:

1 - is a heatsink the same as a cooler?
2 - do i need to do what this guy is saying and replace the dynatron heatsink with a new cooler and fan?

i havent put it together yet - just bought a gtx 260 and still have a MOBO,RAM and other smaller bits to buy before i do put it together....

....i just want to make sure im not putting something together that will cause any damage to the system im building

whoops - ive removed the link - didnt realise there were rules sorry - it seems the general concensus is that ive bought a shi** HSF & that i need to replace it as advised by this guy even if the whole 'metal&concord' thing isnt relevant/correct....

...d d danneh - am i allowed to post the link to just a picture of the heatsink?

 

[benenhausen]

ive seen your edit mate - id just like to say thanks to all your posts everyone and for your assistance with the 'competitor' thing - im just new sorry!

i will be trying to get a replacement from tomorrow and looking at the thermalright cooler and noctua fan as thats the second recommendation ive had
